Global supply chains are quickly exposed to disorders driven by epidemics, geopolitical crises and climate
phenomena, which make traditional risk management strategies inadequate. While industries such as IoT, blockchain,
Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and Digital Supply Chain Twins (DSCTS) provide 4.0 technologies that
transform capacity, existing research remains still fragmented. Current studies emphasize either improving operational
performance, strengthening flexibility, or conceptual structure for digital twins - but some integrate these approaches.
This article undergoes structured literature to consolidate evidence in these domains and identify research gaps. Five
important deficiencies showing conclusions: (1) Lack of empirical verification and study across the industry-case
studies-; (2) Insufficient attention to organizational and human factors including leadership, skill and cyber security;
And (3) weak detection of multi-technology integration and coordination.(4) The lack of quantitative metrics for
viability, (5) The behavioral and organizational dimensions of digital supply chain agility not explored. Construction
on these insights, the proposed agenda located Industry 4.0 technologies and DSCT as an ambitions of dynamic
capabilities, not only promotes flexibility and strength, but Also antifragility. The review contributes to an ideological
structure, which combines technologies, organizational inability and resolution management strategies, and offers both
theoretical progress and practical guidance for designing sustainable supply chains.
